Lil Wayne recently released a single on his latest album titled “ Funeral ” Wayne pays tribute to the late Bryant on the eighth track, “Bing James.” The Jay Rock-featuring song ends with 24 seconds of silence, a nod to Kobe’s Lakers jersey number. Truth be told the legendary rapper has been a long time Lakers fan and has been mentioning Kobe in his tracks since the 90’s Lil Wayne – “Young Playa” (1999) Notable Line: “I might be in a Lex watching the game tonight, I got a hundred on Kobe, hope he playing it right…” After the 2009 Western Conference Finals with the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets in six games, he was so inspired reports say he ask Kobe for permission to create a song about him, with Kobe’s consent, the song “Kobe Bryant” was made.Bottom line is Kobe is hip hop and our community will surely miss him.
